Psalms 14

1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

3 They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?

Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.

5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.

7 O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.
